Oh my. There are probably a lot of pissed off Tea Party NFL fans right now...

NFL football on Fox (channel 11 for me: Saints vs Bears), had no audio for the 10-15 minutes—this was during pre-game on field interviews, etc.

Well, they got the audio back, just in time for kick off, but the announcer is speaking Spanish.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, probably, but just before the audio went out, one of the announcers was giving a speech about how the shutdown is not allowing NFL Football to be heard by our troops over seas. Shortly after this, the audio was gone and came back in Spanish.
